Osaka lost only nine exchanges in a duel with the tournament fourteen. At 5: 4 in the second set, she used the sixth match. “It was great, one of my best matches of this year’s short season,” she praised.
The next rival of the 22-year-old Japanese woman will be the American Shelby Rogers, who in the eight-final battle deflected four matchmen and eliminated Petra Kvitová.
In the men’s singles, Denis Shapovalov became the first Canadian Open Open quarterfinalist in New York in New York. “It’s crazy what I did,” the 21-year-old shone. In the round of 16, he lost the tie-break of the first set to David Goffin 0: 7, but in the end he advanced after winning 6: 7, 6: 3, 6: 4 and 6: 3.
Shapovalov will play with Pablo Carreno for the semifinals. The Spaniard advanced after the disqualification of the Serbian star Novak Djokovic, as the leader of the world rankings after losing his own service at 5: 6 in the opening set hit the ball blindly behind his back and hit the line referee.
